It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’m back and ready get to work in the kitchen. My 7 week full time contract job is now finished, I’ve got my freelance work under control and now it’s back to normal. Phew! I’ve been eating a lot of soups and pasta but it’s always nice to have a fresh green salad to make everything better. Last night for dinner, I made the best dressing ever and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. My salad was the standard issue organic greens spring mix topped with toasted walnuts. The secret ingredient? Jam! I used my favorite Bonne Maman Sour Cherry Jam to add a bit of fruity sweetness to my standard vinaigrette and I was amazed at how amazingly fantastic it was. Jam. Who knew it was for more than just toast?

I have been fearful of buying cherry jam, soley because i thought it only for toast( I could eat then whole jar in about 3 sittings)…But now I can buy it and not devour it only on toast…it makes dressing too! Thnak you! Congrats on finishing your contract.
